He's in the minority of people, with me and a couple others on here, who find the most interesting aspect the societal issues raised in the scenario. The zombies are a backdrop, thus a lack of AGMZOBMIEACTION for a few episodes is largely unnoticed by us. I agree with him, from that perspective seasons 1 and 2 were great, and 3 has gone downhill.
I didn't like the slowness of season 2 or the hiding but it did have a decent story to it.
Although, season 2 could have definitely had better pacing. If they weren't trying to save money by shooting mostly on the farm it could have been better.
Now, with the entire show left to a bunch of retards running in circles with no plan other than "survive" it gets repetitive. Especially when they make the same mistakes and get caught in the same stupid situations. Makes me face palm every time this supposedly rugged and experienced zombie apocalypse survivor group gets the "surprise, ninja zombies!!" treatment.

If this show was written and acted really, really well. And I meanreallywell. I could understand that perspective.
However, I think the writing is absolute shit and that every character plays some over exaggerated American stereotype. So I want zombies. Zombies zombies zombies.

I think every character has the depth of a Kardashian. I wish the writing would begin to head toward the exaggeration of something, anything. For a show that claims to be about characters, not zombies, everyone is two dimensional.

That's how I feel too. Everyone is bitching about the world being such a depressing place and how it's better just to kill yourself instead of trying to survive in a bleak environment and how raising children in the world would be evil.
Meanwhile the only child in the show is adapting and thriving in his environment.
I also didn't think the transformation was as sudden as people say. When he found the cache of weapons on the highway and wanted the axe I thought he was on his way to being a badass.

They could make it easier on them if they weren't:
1. Living in a lush environment
2. 'surviving' where 99% of humans died leaving fresh supplies, ammunition etc for everyone.
3. fighting against the weakest zombies ever.
The struggles they go through just seem so contrived and it's silly whenever they get killed by a zombie. The only time I feel like the zombies are a legit threat are when there's 50+ of them. Otherwise a few people with some spears should ace them np.

Which is pretty much the point of the comics like has been said before in these threads. It's not the zombies that are the problem, it's humans and their ego or whatever fucking up and fucking around that get people killed and causes conflict.
I believe that the zombie was created as an allegory for the way that people live out their modern lives, repeating the same menial tasks ad nauseum.
Okay that was pretty funny, but I actually am looking forward to this! Archer, Spartacus, Walking Dead.. and then game of thrones in a month
